Kaspersky said the flaw was discovered in March, and they passed it on to Microsoft. The technology firm patched the flaw in the Windows update on April 9.

Microsoft said that before reaching the zero-day vulnerability discovered by Kaspersky, hackers need to log into the affected system. When successfully exploiting the vulnerability, hackers can run binary code in the operating system core, change and delete data, install a variety of programs from view, even take up administrative rights on Windows.

Although this vulnerability has been around for a long time before it was discovered by Kaspersky until now, there has been no sign of this zero-day vulnerability being exploited.
